It contains some 7000 pieces of furniture, a vast assemblage of lighting objects and numerous archives, as well as the estates of such designers as Charles & Ray Eames, Verner Panton and Alexander Girard.

When it comes to the physical implementation of exhibitions, the Vitra Design Museum has its own team of planning and production specialists. Its range of services covers the planning of installation structures as well as the crating of installations and objects in accordance with international museum standards.In collaboration with well-known designers, we concentrate on strengthening the design idea and achieving the structural flexibility required of exhibition projects, especially travelling exhibitions.The planning and production team is supported by an in-house workshop with nearly 1000 m² of production space where the various projects are executed by an experienced workshop team in a timely fashion with careful attention to detail. To ensure utmost quality and precision, the members of planning and production team work closely together from start to finish.In addition to the technical development and implementation of the Museum’s own exhibitions we also carry out an extensive portfolio of services for external, often internationally operating companies and museums. In particular, these include planning, production and assembly of exhibition installations, exhibition constructions and trade fair stands.
